A Hero

Over the past three years, since I started writing this little blog, Father’s little blog, I dubbed it this week, I’ve shared a story about a friend of mine, Tommy Gilbert. I’ve shared the story on this day each year. I share it on this particular day because it was on this day, 19 years…

Clinging

I mentioned yesterday that I have a friend, a priest, who sends me a daily devotional text. After reading the little blog yesterday morning, he sent me an additional text. If you recall, in this little blog I was sharing about how the happenings in this world lately have me feeling tired and just a…

The Things That Come Between

Have you noticed how easy it is to let “the things” come between you and Father? What do I mean by “the things”? Well, anything, all of it. The busy schedule, the work to-dos, the home life to-dos, this appointment, that ballgame, this meeting, you get the idea. Our everyday life presents “things” that get…

Today Is A Gift

Yes, yes it is. Of course, every day is a gift; we all know that. You all know that I love Saturday. It’s the one morning in the week when I catch a little more z’s and don’t have to rush out the door to work. We have a few things on our to-do list…

What If

About a month ago, in this little blog, I shared a conversation I had with my husband. He was telling me about how he prays for satan. Yes, you heard that right. It is such an interesting perspective, and over the past month, since writing that little blog, I’ve been thinking a lot about the…

Here in SW Florida, we are in the final stretch of our rainy season, and dare I say it, hurricane season, shhh… About another 6 weeks or so, and we’ll be on the other side of it. We’re going to keep praying that things stay status quo in the hurricane department 🙂 . Sorry, I…

It’s Ok to Hurt

Over the past several weeks, if you’ve been following this blog, you’re aware that our family has been going through a difficult time. However, I have friends who, in turn, are going through difficulties. I know many out there are struggling, facing challenges, and feel lost or alone. A few nights ago, I found myself…

The Christmas Effect

I’ve never been a fan of seeing Christmas items in the stores starting in August. I’m a believer that Thanksgiving is such an important Holiday and one that deserves respect, and I don’t like that we kind of just skip over it and go right to Christmas. Now, having said that, I do love the…

Don’t Doubt

A few days ago, following the funeral of my brother-in-law, several family members went to spend time at their family’s farmland. My sister-in-law owns a large portion of the wooded area that is simply beautiful. We used to spend many a Thanksgiving weekend celebrating the Rally of the Clan on this land. We’d have a…

Gathering

Why does it take an event for us to gather with family and friends? Over the past weeks, we’ve spent time with family, many of whom we haven’t seen in a very long time. Today, we will spend even more time together as one. While I’m sad about the reason for our coming together, I…
